People Hate My Names So Whatever *5-1 FNM*

Standard Aggro Artifact BR (Rakdos) Competitive FNM

Phyrexia


Sideboard


Maybeboard


Splashing black to my mono-red aggro deck for better removal, and pushing the curve up a little from my original RDW deck.

Sideboard is to go more control, and slow it down a bit.

Looking forward to trying this out this Sunday at my LGS standard event. I think it should perform better than my mono-red deck.

You could probably take Chandra, Torch of Defiance out if you want to make it more budget.

Going to replace Incendiary Flow and Unlicensed Disintegration with the promo versions, and likely add in Aether Hub once they're out for FNM.

Would love to have Heart of Kiran in here and more Chandra's, but I don't have them in collection, and don't want to drop $100 on an unproven deck. We'll see how it plays.

Sideboarding! I'm looking for something with a little oomf to side in. Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet would be great, but I would like to keep this sort of budget. I'm thinking maybe Combustible Gearhulk or Noxious Gearhulk, but their CMC is so high.

Also, I really want a replacement for Bomat Courier. Sometimes it plays, but I don't know if there has been a match where I didn't board all 4 of them out both games 2 and 3. Plus I rarely want to use its' ability since it requires pitching your whole hand away. It's fine for getting in some damage early, and it turns on metalcraft, but beyond that it stinks. Frankly, I feel like there has to be a better card to replace him.

3-0 Let's Goooooooooo

Match 1 vs 4c Saheeli: 2-1

Lost to the combo game 1. Game 2 double Scrapheap Scrounger into Weldfast Engineer was enough early game pressure to prevent Saheeli from staying on the board, and I ended it before he had enough mana to go off. Game 3 he kept drawing lands, and no threats. The guy was apparently national ranked, so I'll take any victory no matter how I got it.

Match 2 vs R/B Tower Madness: 2-1

Really cool deck that ran basically all instants and sorceries, lost game 1 to Dynavolt Tower and double Fevered Visions. Game 2 boarded out my removal and was able to win with both Fleetwheel Cruisers. Game 3 he kept a 1 land hand, and unfortunately didn't draw any other lands until turn 4 when I had 1 Inventor's Apprentice, 1 Scrapheap Scrounger, 1 Weldfast Engineer and a Fleetwheel Cruiser on the board.

Match 3 vs B/W Control: 2-0

Game 1 was great, double Unlicensed Disintegration was able to deal with Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet until I was able to develop a large enough board to get past all of his removal. Game 2 was textbook, despite keeping a land of 4 lands and 3 removal spells, I drew into a bunch of 3 drop creatures. Was able to chip away bits and pieces until I got the kill.

First win of a tournament ever, and games 1 and 3 were some of the better players at the store so I have to say I'm very happy with this deck and how it plays. The sequencing can be hard sometimes but if you take your time and think things through B/R can make for very strong aggro.
